Status-Q

[Original Link] Robert Cringeley says he's found a major disruptive technology. It's a $70 wireless router. But that's not all... Thanks to John for the link

[Original Link] Apple's iTunes Music Store is selling over 3 million songs a week. And it's still only open to people with a US credit card...

I love this picture from John's blog:

[Original Link] Jakob Nielsen was talking about .NET taking over the world because it would enable micro-payments.

[Original Link] Three things that get my goat:

• The government's constant striving to push as many kids as possible into higher education, (which is nothing whatsoever to do with keeping unemployment figures down),
• the inflation of A-level grades (because everybody's suddenly got so much cleverer over the last ten years)
• The ridiculously low salaries of UK academics

For anyone who, like me, has been typing 'reset nokia 6600' into Google...

I like my 6600, but the software does have occasional glitches. Something happened on mine which stopped it syncing reliably with my Mac using iSync, so I wanted to try and restore it to its pristine out-of-the-box state. There are lots of tips out there on the web about how to do this - see here for example - but the most thorough format I've found so far can be achieved by going to Tools/Settings/Phone/General and choosing 'Orig. Phone Settings'.

Still doesn't delete everything, though... let's see if it works...

Bother. No. Still crashes.
